Serialization: The Next Global Revolution in Consumer Goods Industry

Serialization is the process of assigning a unique identifier to individual products. This can be applied to a product or packaging through any kind of carrier, like a human readable code, a QR code or NFC. Most importantly, serialization enables companies to provide consumers with a way of verifying that the products they purchase are authentic. Serialization also offers brands the potential to establish complete supply chain visibility giving them the tools to track each individual unit in real time, and offers transparency for the consumer on the origins and journey of an item. The Kezzler solution can additionally be used to enable direct consumer engagement and to gather information about the market and consumer in support of increased sales, the creation of a more efficient business operation and the development of a stronger product offering.
